Welcome to the BIPS training portal. This specialized program is designed to equip trainers and leaders with the advanced skills needed to foster inclusive, community-led peace in Sudan.
Our program uses a "Train-the-Trainer" cascade model. We provide you with expert training, and you will then cascade this critical knowledge to local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and community members across Darfur, Blue Nile, and South Kordofan.
Our Mission:
Following the April 2023 conflict, Sudan entered one of its most destructive civil wars in decades. This crisis has fragmented communities, amplified hate speech, and displaced millions.
The BIPS project has adapted to this new reality. Our mission is to foster inclusive peace by strengthening youth, women, and civil society organizations. We focus on localized approaches through grassroots actors to counteract conflict drivers, address new challenges, and enhance social cohesion.
This training is designed to strengthen local capacity and create a locally-driven peacebuilding ecosystem that can facilitate inclusive conflict transformation from the ground up.
Our curriculum is grounded in proven principles of conflict transformation and sustainable reconciliation, providing both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills for effective, grassroots-driven peace processes.
Understand core theories of sustainable reconciliation, relationship-building, empathy, and long-term social healing (e.g., Lederach's Sustainable Reconciliation Model).
Learn to professionally analyze and map conflict dynamics, root causes, and key actors.
Master principles for designing initiatives that are conflict-sensitive, locally owned, and adaptive (e.g., CDA 'Do No Harm' model).
Gain practical tools for relationship-building, promoting civic tolerance, and fostering social cohesion.
Learn strategies to identify, prevent, and mitigate hate speech, disinformation, and online polarization.
Integrate trauma-sensitive methodologies to create safe spaces that promote healing, resilience, and inclusive participation.
Build the essential skills to effectively teach and cascade these modules using interactive methods like storytelling, simulations, and visual dialogue.
Learn to monitor impact and adapt strategies in real-time, guided by a feedback-oriented system.
How it works:
Join a cohort for interactive online and offline workshops featuring case studies, simulations, and practical exercises.
Using the curriculum and materials, you will deliver this training to local CSOs and community members in your region.
Receive continuous mentoring, technical assistance, and peer-learning support as you guide your CSOs in developing their own community initiatives.
Participate in follow-up workshops and knowledge exchange sessions to reinforce skills, share lessons, and ensure the training remains effective.
